THE CHAMPION AT A GLANCE
born: 26 August 1996 in Porto
career highlights
2014: 4th in the Blancpain Sprint Series, Pro-Am
2016: 1st in the TCR Portugal
advantage in view of the finale. I
think we deserved to win, as we
claimed seven race victories and five
pole positions - better than anybody
else. I have to thank Veloso
Motorsport for supporting me in such
a fantastic way throughout the
season and I also want to pay
respect to my competitors with whom
I had a lot of tough, but fair fights.
”
As for his near future, Mora says:
“Next year I would really like to race
in the ADAC TCR Germany that I
tasted with a one-off appearance at
the Nürburgring in 2016. It is a top-
level championship and requires an
expensive budget. I hope that my
title in the Portuguese series will
help to find enough sponsors to
support me. This is the goal I will be
working on from this very moment!
